Huh? I use that syntax fairly often in bash. I just checked the man page for ksh88 and ksh93 (since there was a reference to ksh by the OP) and they support that syntax as well.

If I'm missing something, please point it out clearly.

Yes. Did you read my comments?

My comment in the code tag was a bit nonsensical, admitedly - it should have read "Note that the beginning of each line is a tab character, not space characters."

As I also pointed out, I verified this behavior in bash, pdksh, ksh88 and ksh93. Tabs, not spaces.

Try it for yourself:
Code:
#! /bin/ksh
cat <<-Marker
	This demonstrates a line with a leading tab
 This demonstrates a line with a leading space
	EOF

That fixes it. I tried spaces, not tabs.
